It is ridiculously simple to consume a webservice with coldfusion.
problem: Complex Types make it more difficult, and complex types that require the xsi:type make it impossible without resorting to the underlying Java ColdFusion is built on.

Web service operation "getData" with parameters {{VALUE={1108195333},MERCHANT={{ID={M_ENTATJACK_42},NAME={STEVEN}}}}} could not be found.

I'm going to throw this out there. I found a solution to this problem at one point, but I didn't have time to implement it. I'll paypal $50 bucks for the first person that can send me a link to the actual solution.

Adobe has the party line for how easy this is to do:
Useless Documentation
problem: if you need to assign attributes, you're going to have issues

This has become a rather famous article showing how strange this can actually become, but you CAN assign attributes with this method:
how to use ColdFusion MX to consume Web Services
problem: xsi:type can't be assigned using this method.

This is a great article... it doesn't mention ColdFusion, but it points out some of the frustration...
xsi:type Train Wreck

I'm a web developer for NOVICA. I'm fascinated by languages, even though I only speak English and a little Spanish. I can count in Korean and have numerous language and linguistics books. I'm living within walking distance of CSUN where I share an apartment with my girlfriend and 2 cats. I'm happy. I write sporadically (I really need to finish that short story), with every intention of making a living at it at an undisclosed point in the future. I taught physics at Emperor's College Winter Term 2008. I love games and stories and music and computers and science and "and." I drink my coffee 100% black 80% of the time and 80% black 20% of the time. Also, there are other things. 7332 42
